Placebo - Twentieth Century Boy. Unspeakable cover of the T Rex choon by the nasally challenged Brian Molko and Co. When it comes to the history of Benelux rock, Molko is truly the missing link between Golden Earring and The Smurfs.

Megadeth - God Save The Queen. Dave "Ned Flanders" Mustaine is such a Pistols fan, he doesn't even need to bother to learn the correct lyrics - substituting "No more council tenancies" with "no more cunt-like tendencies". Thankfully, Megadeth's career started a non-stop descent from here.

Tom Jones - Kiss. Mr Woodward turns the fey Prince and The Revolution summery pop number into a sweaty, medallioned, Brut 33-wearing sweatathon, assisted by the Art Of Noise and their Fairlight. The Jones should stay in Vegas and never descend on a recording studio again.

megadeth did anarchy, not god save the queen.

i agree too, although after the album that has anarchy, they recorded rust in peace which is amazing, then did a bunch of albums of questionable quality, after they broke up only to reform as dave and the imps.

i did laugh at that "ned flanders" stab, you're so repped!

Seconding the Ronan Keating cover of Fairytale of New York... the cringe-tastic bit where he changes the 'you scumbag you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot' to something that does not scan at all.

Those of you with sensitive dispositions might light to hide their ears at this point.

I'm going to dig up my thread about good covers. That'll take the pain away.

Phil Collins' - Tomorrow Never Knows.

Phil gets a lot of stick here and I tend to be one of those who tries to defend him (at least a little bit.) But this is just too much. Hideous from start to finish. Evil even, if you feel like getting extreme about it. And when it comes to PC, that's never too difficult.

Guns n Roses - Sympathy for the Devil.

From the Interview with a Vampire soundtrack this horribly misguided effort manages to bleed any menace from the original and in so doing actually demonstrates just how far from greatness GnR always were. You actually believe Jagger when he sings of being a 'man of wealth and taste' but Axl? Wealth undoubtedly, but taste? Me thinks not.

Agreed. Total shit.

A friend of mine who's really into Placebo played this for me once cause he knew I liked the Pixies. I threw up all over him as an expression of my rage.

Regarding Placebo they butchered lots of great songs on the 2cd-edition of Sleeping with ghosts.

I'm still being a twat when I say that depends on how old you are. I can't imagine there's that many Northern Soul fans round here, but at some point somone's going to listen to dance music/ music to dance to round here.

Ah yes, the original by Gloria Jones (or the 2nd Mrs Marc Bolan, if you will) - a high-steppin', hand clappin' piece of 60's soul that in itself is good.

Have you ever heard Gloria Jones' alternate version of Tainted Love, with Marc Bolan (although I think he only plays on it, no singing)?

Gloria was a backing singer for T-Rex after her northern soul heyday, and she and Bolan had a child together (Rolan Bolan).
